FIRST LOOK: Nike Eric Koston Express

Last year, the Nike SB Koston 2 was the talk of the skateboarding world. Its Lunar styling was a groundbreaking performance trait for skate shoes, keeping boarders comfortable during long grind sessions.

Looking to improve upon their previous ventures, Nike SB has cooked up the Eric Koston Express. This time around, Nike's Free technology is the inspiration for the new model. Its breathable, lightweight mesh upper is a style cue you'll recognize from the Free Run series. Although the technical specs of the sneaker have yet to be released, it's a safe bet that the midsole will utilize some form of Lunarlon cushioning, as seen on Koston's previous sig model.
